It's Official! Giroud is a Gooner

It's official! Giroud is a Gooner!

Arsenal FC have just confirmed via the official club website that the Giroud deal is done. The club reports that Giroud completed a medical before agreeing terms at the club's training grounds yesterday evening.

This is official confirmation of a move that has had all Arsenal fans excited for the past few weeks and only got a concrete base on Monday morning (yesterday) following the the hippy hair-styled president of Montpellier's confirmation when speaking with Midi Libre.

"I wish him well," Louis Nicollin told French newspaper Midi Libre while also confirming that a move in the opposite direction for Chamakh was not part of the deal.

“We are delighted to have secured the signing of Olivier Giroud," Wenger said of the signing, "he has a
very good physical presence and is exceptional in the air, with a great
work ethic. We are excited about Olivier joining us and he will add an
additional dimension to our attacking options next season."

Are we there yet? Nah, methinks we still have the unpleasant task of a clearance sales to get rid of certain players who are not adding value to us.
